Re World massage conference best $99 I spent in a very long time! you can still join and veiw/download till may 2010.

I am still in a twirl re fascia ....had to watch/listen to some of the lectures 3 times........ just makes the human body even more interesting, more beautifull, more understood yet still unknown.

I have had to take a long look at the way I do my massage. = what alienated me away from rocking shaking mechanical viabration cupping hacking many many years ago? I do a great massage, but can it be better if I now stimulate the mechanoreceptors and free nerve endings that respond when stimulated in the above fashon? they are all there waiting, listening, wanting your touch at all depths slow/strong/soft/fast.

Does this explain why we have so many different therapys that benifit people in so many different ways?

Will we become the most sought after group of practitioners ????? we have the time, the skill, the contact, the patience, the intuition and the love of what we do, to fascillitate theraputic change via the fascial network!

Keep up that good work Dawne!

Fascia is the cutting edge of our professional development as far as understanding anatomy is concerned. The more I play at this edge, the better my results in terms of freeing restrictions, lifting pain patterns and infusing the body with enough new energy that it just self-corrects.

It's like stepping into the flow of where energy becomes matter and redirecting flow so homeostasis can take over. Like giving my client a push on a swing....

Hard to pin that exact place down but yes Dawne Marie, there is definately a place the energy field melds wiht the physical.
Thank you for bringing that more into the light. I would like to see more of this elevation in all massage trainings. ;-)

I like what you said, Dawn Marie. I find that to be true in my experience as an energy worker as well.

A long-time leader in the experiential aspects of the fascia is Emily Conrad, founder of Continuum, continuummovement.com. I have found her work helpful in directly experiencing my own fascia and changing the quality of it, getting it to be more fluid,more alive, juicy. Anti-aging medecine.

My experience is the fascia are the bridge between the physical body and the etheric body. The fascia is the place where energy becomes the matter of the body.

I experience a step down process from energy to matter that can also become a step up process from matter to energy with the insertion of my hands and intention into the process. I think this is where we massage therapists really facilitate change.

I totally agree with Sandy. Seeing the primary nature of fascial planes/muscle groups will take our understanding of myology to a whole new level. And the cellular ramifcations are also tremendous when you think about how far reaching the myofascia is. We're now looking at health at the cellular level (not to mention cellular memory).

Since this research began, I've also been waiting to hear someone talk about how the fascial system isn't innervated, which raises some real questions about what system is truly primary (I've spent my career believing it was the neural system till now).

This opens the potential for great discussions in massage therapy and bodywork and even in energy work and acupuncture. We are all working with the fluid aspects of fascia and the fiber optics/meridian pathways running through it. We're moving to a whole new level with this research. Exciting!

my educated guess is that mechanical massage result will be primaily related to changing tissue shape and ultimatley cell wall shape which triggers communication networks, that the fluid aspect of fascia and how massage influences it will be more understood and that less focus will be placed on individual muscles and more on fascial groupings such as described by Tom Myers.
